Phil Schoen was nice enough to give the Brotherly Game some of his time about a week and a half ago. The GolTV play-by-play announcer discussed plenty of topics with the Brotherly Game, some of which included the Philadelphia Union.

Interview with Phil Schoen of GolTV

Here are some highlights of the chat:

• Schoen's time with GolTV, along with his coverage of Colombian soccer, has enabled him to have a more advanced take on players from South and Central America.

The explanation is simple: Granada's Borja Gomez De Jong'd Malaga's Diego Buonanotte in the first half of Monday's 2-1 win. Gomez was shown a yellow card for his high kick and somewhere, Xabi Alonso felt an intense pain in his chest. Even if he didn't know why, he knew why.

Video right this way.

Another Philadelphia Union player is on his way out of the club, as Kyle Nakazawa will be traded, the Brotherly Game has learned.

Sources tell the Brotherly Game that the Nakazawa will be moved to the LA Galaxy in a move that one of the sources said will be announced tomorrow. The trade has been in the works since sometime last week.

Le Talk

Yesterday he's going, today he is staying. An article from sportinglife.com suggests that Le Toux "did not impress sufficiently" at Bolton. Owen Coyle is quoted in the article, "Sebastien came in for a couple of days, and to be fair to him he hadn't trained for four or five weeks.

Gabriel Gomez was signed by the Philadelphia Union in late December. Last night was the first chance Philly fans have had to examine the versatile Panamanian.

In a 1-0 friendly loss to the United States, Gomez played as a calming link between Panama's back four and skittish front five.

The good news: He was fantastic.

While posing a hypothetical question to the Union Twitterati whether they would accept $2.75 million for Sebastien Le Toux, Jonathan "The Goalkeeper" Tannenwald mentions, "I've been told there has been no offer yet."

Meanwhile, Daily News reporter Kerith Gabriel writes, "It's likely the Union will start the 2012 campaign without Frenchman Sebastien Le Toux.

The U.S. Men's National Team last faced Canada in the 2011 CONCACAF Gold Cup, but it's been more than 13 years since the teams met on Canadian soil. With the U.S. and Canada set to face each other in Toronto at 7 p.m. ET on June 3, we took a look at the history between the sides and found some interesting facts.

With the SuperDraft behind us, thoughts now turn to the nitty-gritty of the 2012 Union season. Naturally, questions arise. Over a two-part series we pose ten questions to our Union beat reporter, Eli Pearlman-Storch, beginning in part 1 with a focus on formation, roster depth and leadership roles within the starting XI.

U.A.G. - San Luis 9pm - Galavision As we start the second week of the Clausura season, Michael Orozco's San Luis are coming off a 1-0 home win over UNAM Pumas. U.A.G. lost 3-1 on the road to Toluca. Guadalajara's other team needs to make a break with a subpar Apertura season that had them finishing 16th and losing Herculez Gomez in the offseason.

The Philadelphia Union select Greg Jordan with the 32nd overall pick in the 2012 MLS SuperDraft.

Jordan is a defensive type of midfielder, making him the fourth player on the Union that can play in a central defensive midfield role (Brian Carroll, Gabriel Gomez and Amobi Okugo, as well). He is a good passer of the ball and works hard throughout the midfield, a lot like Carroll.

Peter Nowak spoke to the press today, only hours after the Union announced Costa Rican left back Porfirio Lopez as the team's fifth offseason signing.

"Porfirio [Lopez] has a great capacity going back and forth and taking pride at defending, and that's a part we take a look at very closely," Nowak said.

Liverpool started Luis Suarez and i think this was an excellent decision by manager Kenny Dalglish.

The Union's Central American pipeline continued to flow with the announcement this morning of the signing of 26-year-old Costa Rican left back Porfirio Lopez, one day after the announcement of the signing of Panamanian midfielder Gabriel Gomez and two weeks after the signing of Costa Rican forward Josue Martinez.

The Philadelphia Union announced on Wednesday that they have signed Panamanian international Gabriel "Gavilan" Gomez.

The press release says "the central midfielder will be eligible to join the Union upon receiving his P-1 Visa and International Transfer Certificate. Per MLS and Club policy, terms of the agreements were not disclosed.

In yet another foreign news or Twitter released move, the Philadelphia Union have officially signed Gabriel Gomez. The 27-year-old midfielder/defender will join the team upon receiving his International Transfer Certificate and the acceptance of his application for an American P-1 Visa.

Gomez was rumored to be joining that Union last week, when a Central American news outlet, Presna.

A new article from Kerith Gabriel on Friday morning about a Gabriel Gomez to the Philadelphia Union deal is headlined "Panama's Gomez signs with Union" but the copy says "According to sources, the contract has been approved by Major League Soccer and awaits Gomez' signature before the Union can schedule an announcement, which can come as early as next week.

Kerith Gabriel, of the Philadelphia Daily News and Philly.com, is reporting that the Philadelphia Union have come to an agreement with Gabriel Gomez. An announcement should come sometime next week, according to his article.

A team source confirmed to Gabriel that a Presna.com article proclaiming talks between the Union and Gomez had reached the finalizing stage was correct.

The Philadelphia Union went into the offseason with a variety of needs, not the least of which was some defensive depth. Their first step toward adding that depth has led to the signing of a versatile player who should be familiar to U.S. national team fans.

The Union is set to sign Panamaian national team midfielder Gabriel Gomez, multiple reports in Philadelphia revealed on Thursday morning.

The Philadelphia Union are finalizing a deal with Panamanian international Gavilan Gabriel Gomez, according to a report by Presna.com. MLS Rumors first spotted the story earlier today and pointed out that Gomez has a history of success against Panamanian CONCACAF rivals.

The 27-year-old has spent much of his career with an inability to become settled in nearly every city Gomez has attempted to play.

For the fourth time in two years, Herculez Gomez is on his way to a new club in Mexico.

If only Bob Bradley knew...

Onward...

With Estudiantes Tecos about to wrap up there season and facing a budget-balancing puzzle, the US's prodigal poacher south of the border is headed north out of town.

TSG has confirmed that the 2010 World Cup vet will join Club Santos Laguna (where former US coach Bob Bradley was said to be in talks about their head role before taking the Egypt job) after the conclusion of Mexican Apertura playoff final series Sunday.

That Locomotive called Arsenal was back on track today charging once again towards the top of the table. After frustratingly slowing down at Fulham last weekend it was full steam ahead up north to Wigan to pick up what turned out to be an easy three points.

The players exuded superiority from the moment they stepped onto the pitch.

Last night's La Liga tie between Granada and Mallorca was called off after an hour or so after one of the linesman, Aguilar Rodriguez, had his face busted open (he suffered a suspected fractured cheek bone) by an umbrella thrown from the stands...

With Granada 2-1 up at the time after coming from behind and looking on course for a much-needed win considering how pap they've been this season, referee Clos Gomez stopped play after seeing his colleague getting brollied over in the corner of the ground, immediately marching from the field taking his assistants and Granada's three points with him.

Ecco il piglio dei campioni, forti e determinati. Reti di Gomez e Ribery ma grande prova di tutta la squadra bavarese. In seconda piazza si rivede [.

DaMarcus Beasley and other American exports miss out on the Mexican league playoffs.

With the number of Americans south of the border, it's surprising only three will see time in the playoffs. (Americans in the Mexican league will receive deeper analysis and description at a later date, once the off-season transfer dust settles.

U.S. Soccer released the roster of players called up by Jurgen Klinsmann and there are some interesting choices. Both Landon Donovan and Kyle Beckerman are on the roster and are apparently expected to be in camp regardless of whether or not their team makes it to MLS Cup. Reportedly Klinsmann will be releasing that player after the match against France in order to let them return to the United States and prepare.
